VARIOUS HARDY CLEMATIS. 



Clematis Montana Grandiflora. Of stronger growth than any other 

 Clematis, and succeeds under the most adverse conditions, and is perfectly 

 hardy. Its flowers, which resemble the Anemone or Windfiower, are 

 snow-white, 1 J to 2 inches in diameter, and frequently begin to expand 

 as early as the last week in April, continuing well through May, and are 

 produced in such masses as to completely hide the plant. The best of 

 the early spring- flowering climbers. (See illustration.) Extra strong 

 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Clematis flontana Rubens. The latest addition to our list of climbers, 

 Identical in every way with the white-flowered variety described above, 

 except in color, which is of a pleasing shade of soft rosy-red, a most 

 desirable and novel color; requires protection. Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 



Clematis Paniculata {Japanese Virgin's Bower). This handsome 

 hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satisfactory climbing flower- 

 ing plants. Of strong, rapid growth, with small, dense, cheerful green 

 foliage, and pure white, deliriously fragrant flowers which appear in the 

 greatest profusion in August, followed by silvery, feathery seed pods, 

 which make an attractive appearance until mid-winter. The plant suc- 

 ceeds in almost any position, not only is it well adapted to run up all 

 kinds of supports, but is just as useful for planting among rock-work, 

 sloping banks, covering graves, or, in fact, any position where a grace- 

 ful vine or trailer is desired. (See cut.) Strong plants, 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; extra strong plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 

 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Clematis Coccinea. Handsome bell-shaped flowers of a bright coral- 

 red color from June until frost. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Clematis Crispa. Bears an abundance of pretty bell-shaped, fragrant, 

 lavender flowers, with white centre, from June until frost. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz. 



Clematis Virginiana {American White Clematis). A remarkably 

 strong-growing variety, attaining a height of 20 feet, and producing a 

 profusion of white flowers in August. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.

EUONYMUS. 



Radicans Variegata ( Variegated Creeping Eu- 

 onymus). A splendid evergreen creeping plant 

 with pretty, small foliage, beautifully variegated deep 

 green and white; a rather slow-growing but useful 

 plant for covering low stone walls or stumps, or as 

 an edging plant, for which purpose it can be kept 

 closely clipped in the same manner as box edging. 

 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



HOP VINES (Humulus). 



Green=Ieaved {Humulus lupulus). A useful 

 climber for covering unsightly places. It is a rapid 

 grower and bears a profusion of seed-pods suitable 

 for many domestic purposes. 10 cts. each; $1.00 

 per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 



Golden=leaved {Humulus lupulus aurea). Iden- 

 tical with the above, except in foliage, which is of a 

 bright golden-yellow. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.
